Privacy Policy

 

1. Introduction

Below, we provide information about the processing of personal data when using

  • our website www.imaxxam.de
  • our social media profiles.

Personal data is any data that can be related to a specific natural person, e.g., their name or IP address.

1.1. Contact details

The controller pursuant to Art. 4 (7) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is IMAXXAM Asset Management GmbH, Hungener Straße 6, 60389 Frankfurt am Main, Germany, email: info@imaxxam.de. We are legally represented by Markus Dokter and Christoph Geißler.

Our data protection officer can be contacted via heyData GmbH, Schützenstraße 5, 10117 Berlin, Germany, www.heydata.eu, email: datenschutz@heydata.eu.

1.2. Scope of data processing, processing purposes, and legal bases

The scope of data processing, processing purposes, and legal bases are explained in detail below. The following are generally considered to be the legal basis for data processing:

  • 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as our legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent.
  • 6 (1) (b) GDPR is the legal basis if the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, e.g. if a website visitor purchases a product from us or we perform a service for them. This legal basis also applies to processing that is necessary for pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.
  • Section 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR applies if we fulfill a legal obligation by processing personal data, as may be the case in tax law, for example.
  • Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis if we can invoke legitimate interests for the processing of personal data, e.g. for cookies that are necessary for the technical operation of our website.

1.3. Data processing outside the EEA

Insofar as we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, we guarantee the security of the data during transfer, insofar as (e.g. for the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel) adequacy decisions of the EU Commission (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR) are in place.

If no adequacy decision exists (e.g., for the US), the legal basis for data transfer is usually standard contractual clauses, unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 (2) (b) GDPR, they ensure the security of data transfer. Many of the providers have given contractual guarantees that go beyond the standard contractual clauses and protect the data beyond the standard contractual clauses. These include, for example, guarantees regarding the encryption of data or regarding the third party's obligation to notify data subjects if law enforcement agencies want to access data.

1.4. Storage period

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations preventing deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted, i.e., the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we are required to retain for commercial or tax reasons.

1.5. Rights of data subjects

Data subjects have the following rights with regard to their personal data:

  • Right to information,
  • Right to rectification or erasure,
  • Right to restriction of processing,
  • Right to object to processing,
  • Right to data portability,
  • Right to withdraw consent at any time.

Data subjects also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding the processing of their personal data. Contact details for data protection supervisory authorities are available at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.

1.6. Obligation to provide data

Customers, interested parties, or third parties must only provide us with personal data within the scope of a business relationship or other relationship that is necessary for the establishment, implementation, and termination of the business relationship or other relationship, or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service, or we will no longer be able to perform an existing contract or other relationship.

Mandatory information is marked as such.

1.7. No automated decision-making in individual cases

We do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR to establish and conduct a business relationship or other relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will provide separate information about this, provided that this is required by law.

1.8. Establishing contact

When you contact us, e.g. by email or telephone, we store the data you provide (e.g. names and email addresses) in order to answer your questions. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in responding to inquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are legal retention obligations.

1.9. Customer surveys

From time to time, we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their wishes better. In doing so, we collect the data requested in each case. It is in our legitimate interest to get to know our customers and their wishes better, so that the legal basis for the associated data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We delete the data once the results of the surveys have been evaluated.

2. Data processing on our website

2.1. Informational use of the website

When using the website for informational purposes, i.e. when visitors to the site do not send us any information separately, we collect the personal data that the browser transmits to our server in order to ensure the stability and security of our website. This is in our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

This data is:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • amount of data transferred in each case
  • Website from which the request originates
  • browser
  • Operating system and its interface
  • Language and version of the browser software.

This data is also stored in log files. It is deleted when it is no longer necessary to store it, at the latest after 14 days.

2.2. Web hosting and provision of the website

Our website is hosted by Strato. The provider is STRATO AG, Pascalstraße 10, 10587 Berlin. The provider processes the personal data transmitted via the website, e.g. content, usage, meta/communication data or contact data, within the EU. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/.

It is in our legitimate interest to provide a website, so that the legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.3. Contact form

When you contact us via the contact form on our website, we store the data requested there and the content of the message.
The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest in responding to inquiries addressed to us. The legal basis for processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if there are legal retention obligations.

2.4. Job advertisements

We publish vacancies in our company on our website, on pages linked to the website, or on third-party websites.
The data provided in the application is processed for the purpose of carrying out the application process. Insofar as this data is necessary for our decision to establish an employment relationship, the legal basis is Art. 88 (1) GDPR in conjunction with § 26 (1) BDSG. We have marked the data required to carry out the application process accordingly or have indicated it. If applicants do not provide this data, we cannot process the application.
Further data is voluntary and not required for an application. If applicants provide further information, the basis for this is their consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

We ask applicants to refrain from including information about political opinions, religious beliefs, and similar sensitive data in their resumes and cover letters. This information is not required for an application. If applicants nevertheless provide such information, we cannot prevent it from being processed as part of the processing of the resume or cover letter. Its processing is then also based on the consent of the applicants (Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR).

Finally, we process applicants' data for further application procedures if they have given us their consent to do so. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

We pass on applicants' data to the relevant employees in the Human Resources department, to our processors in the area of recruiting, and to other employees involved in the application process.

If we enter into an employment relationship with the applicant following the application process, we will only delete the data after the employment relationship has ended. Otherwise, we will delete the data no later than six months after rejecting an applicant.

If applicants have given us their consent to use their data for further application procedures, we will only delete their data one year after receiving the application.

2.5. Data processing for the conclusion and execution of rental agreements

We process the following personal data in connection with the conclusion and execution of rental agreements:

  • Salutation
  • First and last name
  • address
  • date of birth
  • email addresses
  • phone numbers
  • occupation
  • Passport or ID card number
  • Number of persons living in the household
  • Income status or pension certificates
  • Consumer insolvency proceedings opened and not yet concluded
  • account details
  • Amount of rent and operating costs
  • Data on payment receipt
  • Consumption data and operating costs in accordance with BetrKV and HeizKV
  • Correspondence during the tenancy.
  • Data on previous criminal offenses in connection with a police clearance certificate

The data is transmitted to us by the tenant themselves. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, as the processing of this data is necessary for the performance of the rental agreement.

Insofar as consent is obtained for the processing of the above-mentioned or other personal data, the legal basis for the processing is consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

2.6. Third-party providers

2.6.1. AB tasty

We use AB Tasty for A/B testing and personalization. The provider is AB Tasty, Gertrudenstr. 30-36, 50667 Cologne, Germany. The provider processes usage data (e.g., visited web pages, interest in content, access times) and meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses) in the EU.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Processing is based on consent. Data subjects may revoke their consent at any time by contacting us, for example, using the contact details provided in our privacy policy. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to revocation.

The data will be deleted once the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies and there is no obligation to retain it. Further information is available in the provider's privacy policy at https://www.abtasty.com/de/datenschutzerklarung/.

3. Data processing on social media platforms

We are represented on social media networks in order to present our organization and our services there. The operators of these networks regularly process their users' data for advertising purposes. Among other things, they create user profiles based on their online behavior, which are used, for example, to display advertising on the network pages and elsewhere on the Internet that corresponds to the interests of the users. To this end, the operators of the networks store information about user behavior in cookies on the users' computers. It cannot be ruled out that the operators may combine this information with other data. Further information and instructions on how users can object to processing by the website operators can be found in the privacy policies of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, meaning that they process data there. This may pose risks for users, e.g. because it makes it more difficult to enforce their rights or because government agencies may access the data.

When users of the networks contact us via our profiles, we process the data provided to us in order to respond to their inquiries. This is in our legitimate interest, so the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

3.1. LinkedIn

We maintain a profile on LinkedIn. The operator is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. The privacy policy is available here: https://https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=de_DE. You can object to data processing via the ad settings: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
